    Hi, on March 19, I started a 90 day challenge to stay away from porn and masturbation. What drove me to do the challenge is that my crush broke my heart by telling me I have been too clingy, and she felt uncomfortable. I went about 120 days until I reached a point where I felt cold and emotionally numb. I turned to porn to get myself to feel passion again, but I feel disgusted at myself for breaking my streak and turning back to porn.

    Now there is this other girl that really likes me, and I do not know how to handle those emotions so that is driving me back to porn...

    Also, I have had intense cravings for sex and touching a woman's breasts.. I am a Christian man, and I know idolizing my cravings is hurting my faith.

    I want to get back on my streak, but I just feel stuck because of my desire to have sex, whilst I rather want to be focused on other things- school, games, relationships, church, etc.

    If anyone could help me, that would be great. :)

    Hey RedX,

    I'm brand new on here but I think we can relate in a lot of ways. I'm also a christian wrestling with a porn addiction. It's rough trying to follow God and rid ourselves of porn, but be encouraged that there are people around you (on the internet) who you can go to and vent and push through! Keep your chin up and get back on those streaks!

    Sending my prayers,
    Polluticorn.

    Desire and craving for sex. The way of nature to motivate you to reproduce (your genes), and natures way to (try to) over rule logic, common sense, believes, etc..
    I think it will always stay there for me (as long as I'm healthy).

    Building a streak and new habit for 120 days. One would imagine, the desire for porn would have deminshed alot? I atm can only dream of such a streak.

    I hope uou can stay positive, about managing such a good long streak before. And hope you can get back on starting a new streak asap and aiming to "beat" your previous personal best of 120 days.
    I hope I am going to break my previous personal best of 14 day.
